Thread: Otpg !!

  1. #1

    Default Otpg !!

    The elk are in trouble this year. IronBuck shows up with a 300 Weatherby-----shooting 200 grain Nolser. The elk don't stand a chance within 1/2 mile of his stand. My poor old 30/06 didn't kill the bull dead enough for him last year. Bill said he needed a BIGGER gun last year after he shot the 4x5 .

    Instead of OTPG it should be OMG. 78 grains of RL-22------says a big OUCH to me. CB

    Atta boy, Iron Buck!!

    Sounds like medicine for just about whatever ails ya. There's not many better all-around rounds for all N.American big game than the venerable .300 Roy. But, I gotta ask why only 78 gr.???? I just stuck some 7-STW's together with 84 gr. of RL-22.......and that's just a .284" peashooter.

    Good luck on them bulls fellers. Hunt safe.

    Hey, Iron Buck.........

    Just for me, have Bob shoot one of those 200 grainers off so he can see he WON'T die. Betcha he asks for another.

    Sounds like a good choice for bringing down big elk!

    Hi Strut, 78 grains is listed as Max in the Nosler manual fro the 200 grain partition. Sighted 2" high at 100 I am getting 6" low at 300 yards. Good enough for me!....oh..........and it works on elk to!
